You are not your parents puppet.
You are not your parents possession.
You are not your parents toy.

You do not owe your parents your entire life.
You do not owe your parents your happiness.
You do not owe your parents the life they wanted.

You do not need to meet your parents standards.
You do not need to sacrifice things for your parents.
You do not need to conform to their morals.

You do deserve happiness.
You do deserve to be free.
You do deserve to be yourself.
You do deserve to do what you wish in life.

Do not let your parents define who and what you are.

Do not let your parents define who and what you are.

Do not let your parents define who and what you are.

This isn’t even just for abusive parents, don’t let your parents stop you from becoming who you want to be even if you have a fantastic relationship with them.
